Your Monthly Elevator Story Workshop - On Alignable

Your Monthly Elevator Story Workshop - On Alignable
Are you ready to practice your Elevator Story?

Click on the Registration button to RSVP. Then, a moment later, click on Add to Calendar.

A few minutes before the event, come on back to this post and click on the same button that will then say "Join Event" or "Enter Waiting Room."

#1 TIP: If you have not already done so, we recommend you review the Resources section in the right-hand sidebar of this group for the replay of our short presentation with Elevator Story templates.

We look forward to going around our virtual room, sharing our 30-60 second elevator stories, giving feedback and preparing for networking in the Smart Connect that follows later in the month. We will open the room a few minutes before we start. Please join us then to make sure your camera and mic are working and to make sure you get a turn before our time runs out since we go in the order in which you arrive in the room.

BTW: These are NOT recorded because it is a workshop not a presentation. Most people won't sit through a 60 minute recording of hearing other people's Elevator Stories and our feedback.

As small business coaches, we look forward to helping you in every way we can!

The need for safe, decent, affordable homes in our community is rising, and Habitat for Humanity is poised to meet that need.

The need for safe, decent, affordable homes in our community is rising, and Habitat for Humanity is poised to meet that need.

Our ReStore brings in over $600,000 in revenue annually, which helps fund our mission of ensuring everyone has a safe, decent, affordable place to call home. We rely on volunteers to help complete our home builds, help in our ReStore, and in our administrative office. The support of our community through volunteerism is the driving force of change in our mission.

Join us for a ribbon-cutting and:
